Wireless Access Point:
The WRP400 has an integrated 802.11b/g wireless
access point that secures your communications with WEP and WPA security
protocols. It is preconfigured to support two wireless networks: one for private
use by your business and one for guest use by customers, temporary
employees, and other visitors.
5.
Mobile Broadband Router:
When you attach a compatible Mobile Broadband
Modem to the USB port, the WRP400 allows multiple Wi-Fi devices to share a
mobile broadband connection. This feature also can be used to provide
continuous Internet service by providing automatic failover to the mobile
network when the primary Internet connection is unavailable. For the latest copy
